Deontay Burnett News
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Deontay Burnett was forced into action in Week 3 and caught three passes for 19 yards. He was targeted four times and was on the field much more than anyone expected after injuries knocked out DeSean Jackson (hamstring) and Dallas Goedert (ankle). Burnett could see more of the field next week, but he's not someone that needs to be rostered in most formats.
New York Jets wide receiver Deontay Burnett seized the opportunity he was given against the Chicago Bears in Week 8. Burnett finished the game with 61 yards, catching all four of his targets, taking the opportunity to be more involved with wide receivers Robby Anderson and Quincy Enunwa both sidelined with ankle injuries. Burnett has likely earned himself more snaps for the Week 9 encounter against the Miami Dolphins, but will likely have a limited fantasy value.
The New York Jets signed wide receiver Deontay Burnett to the practice squad on Sunday. Burnett and rookie QB Sam Darnold played together at Southern California, and beat writer Manish Mehta received this text from a USC Insider: "Getting Burnett is a steal. He (and) Sam will be the duo when they put him on the active roster. Watch." The 20-year-old receiver apparently flew under the radar during the draft process, but the Jets look like they mined a gem. If he and Darnold do jell on the practice field like they did at USC, perhaps Burnett will have some fantasy appeal down the stretch this season.
